A 5 feet 9 inches tall girl born in UP had never thought that one fine day she would rock the international ramps for fashion behemoths like Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabbana and Victoria Beckham. Pooja Mor gave up her career as an engineer only to pursue her dreams. In an interview, Pooja revealed, "My parents didn't want me to become a model. They felt that the profession was for the fickle minded and that it did not promise a sustainable career or source of income." She was crowned the Clean & Clear Ahmedabad Times Fresh Face in 2012 post which she left Gujarat and started working as a fashion model in Delhi. Today, she is a leading model who has walked for Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, J.W Anderson, Topshop and appeared on the covers of some leading style magazines of the country. She has already walked for about 20 Spring 2016 shows--top shows too, like Calvin Klein, Missoni, Narciso Rodriguez and Givenchy. When she was asked if she finds working in New York, easier than India, this dusky bombshell replied, "I think it's more organised here. In India, I think people are always socialising. We used to have chai breaks and all the fun things. Here, people are more professional. You're done with the shoot on time. You're on shoot on time, just break for this much, and done, done, done, like that. Everything is set before you come to the shoot." Today she can boast of some of the most prestigious tags that include being one of the top 10 fresh faces to know for 2016 by UK's Dazed & Confused. However, the idea of 'fame' still leaves her baffled.
